Question

Which values are solutions of the inequality 6 x + 4 < 22 ? Select two answers.

A.5

B.18

C.3

D.0

E.2

Answer 1

Answer: D and E

Explanation:

To find this answer we want to get x by itself in the equation.

6x + 4 < 22

6x < 18

x < 3

So according to this the value of x has to be less than 3.

You can check your answer by substituting the values in for x.

6(0) + 4 < 22

4 < 22 is True

6(2) + 4 < 22

16 < 22 is True

6(3) + 4 < 22

22 < 22 False!
